The Review: A special thanks to Stephan for going to this show with me. We got to our
seats a song or so into EITS's set. Show started earlier than I realized but EITS
were really bad, in my opinion. Between the two of us, we had three audio rigs
going and on video rig. The Pumpkins came out shortly before 9:30 opening with
United States, which I think is a pretty rocking opener. They played a pretty
solid non-stop set with a little bit of witty banter here and there. Over all,
I think the set list was OK. I was really hoping for Starla or Gossamer, but I
will not complain. It had been eleven years since I had last seen the Pumpkins
and I was really not familiar with much of the material, so it was quite fun listening
to many of these songs for the first time. It was nice to hear a few `golden oldies'
off of the S.D. album (but no Gish alas). The set itself was a little shorter than I
had hoped. If you remove all the banter and encore break, it almost becomes a 105
minute show. All in all, we got three decent audio recordings and a nice video
recording (Stephan did all the hard work on that one).

The Recording: The recording came out decent, sounds a little distant but I will not
complain. I faded out the beginning of the encore break on track 20 after Heavy Metal
Machine was over. I had to start a new track at that point or my MicroTrack 24/96 was
going to start a new one for me. I kept all of the encore break in the recording as well,
which starts on track 21 with a fade in. Billy does a small amount of talking at the end
of the outtro track so I decided to leave that in as well. Over all, the recording is
decent. I am sure there are several out there better than mine, but hey, this is ok.
